His research focuses on cardiovascular physiology, investigating endothelial and vascular smooth muscle signaling pathways in hypertension, aging, and exercise. Key areas include mechanisms of blood vessel dysfunction, resveratrol's vascular effects, and exercise-induced vascular adaptations. His work aims to identify therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Recent publications emphasize resveratrol's impact on endothelial signaling, AMPK activators in blood pressure regulation, and RhoA/Rho kinase pathways in hypertension. His studies combine molecular biology, pharmacology, and in vivo/in vitro vascular models.
- Scientific Awards: Multiple academic distinctions at PhD, MSc, and undergraduate levels
Leadership includes overseeing university-wide academic strategy, faculty governance, and institutional research priorities. No specific grants or advisees listed in available data.
His work is conducted within the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, contributing to the Faculty of Health's interdisciplinary research programs in health sciences and physiology.
